Monday of Thanksgiving week (November 26) Mr. Aitch made coffee. Not a rare occurrence but since he retired, he doesn’t make coffee everyday. I’m not much of a coffee drinker but I do like a cup of hot chocolate made with half mike and half coffee. Plus a generous mound of whipped cream drizzled with caramel and chocolate syrups. If you are familiar with Bob Evans Restaurants, I copied this Caramel Mocha recipe from them.

I’m not exactly sure how they make it but my version is just as good. And I can have it any time I want in the comfort of my own home.

I carried my cup of deliciousness to my “knitting chair” and drank more than half of it when I had to get up to do something. Pepper decided to try it. Fortunately she couldn’t her snout down to the mocha part but she did get to lick some of the chocolate syrup on the inside of the cup. The rest of the drink went down the drain.

All of the side dishes are gone now and only some turkey remains. I froze it in small 2-cup portions for turkey pot pies later in the winter.

Drum roll, please……

I finally finished my Easy Mosaic Socks by Winwick Mum!

I started these socks way back in February, hit some snags of my own doing, but managed to finish these beauties within the year! Click here, here, here, and here for the snags/snafus.

This pattern looks difficult but only one color of yarn is used on each row.

The socks turned out beautifully and even with all my issues, I’d knit another pair The soles are striped and fun!

The Regia 4-ply tweed yarn in charcoal is a workhorse yarn and Knit Picks Chroma Twist in Surf’s Up (discontinued yarn) has a subtle color change that is had to see though one sock has a more greenish tint than the other.

I love these socks!

Finish anything lately? Knitting, crocheting, sewing, quilting?
